Abstract

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Öffnungseinrichtung für eine Klappe eines Fahrzeugs, insbesondere für eine Heckklappe, die um eine horizontale Schwenkachse am oberen Rand einer Öffnung der Karosserie eines Fahrzeugs aus einer nach unten gerichteten Schließstellung heraus in eine nach oben gerichtete Öffnungsstellung schwenkbar ist. Sie weist eine Gasfeder 1 auf, die mit dem freien Ende ihrer Kolbenstange 3 in einem Abstand zur Schenkachse an der Karosserie und die mit ihrem Druckrohr 2 in einem Abstand zur Schwenkachse an der Klappe angelenkt ist. Dabei kraftbeaufschlagt die Gasfeder 1 in Ausfahrrichtung die Klappe in Öffnungsrichtung. Weiterhin ist ein Aktuator vorhanden, durch den ein Drehmoment in Öffnungsrichtung auf die Klappe einwirkbar ist. Der Aktuator ist ein Kraftspeicher 4, der aus seiner Spannstellung die Klappe während ihres Öffnungshubes aus der Schließstellung heraus zu einem Erreichen einer Entspannstellung des Kraftspeichers 4 kraftbeaufschlagt.

The invention relates to an opening device for a flap of a vehicle, in particular for a tailgate, which is pivotable about a horizontal pivot axis at the upper edge of an opening of the body of a vehicle from a downward closed position in an upward open position. It has a gas spring 1 which is articulated to the free end of its piston rod 3 at a distance from the pivot axis on the body and with its pressure tube 2 at a distance from the pivot axis on the flap. The force applied to the gas spring 1 in the extension of the flap in the opening direction. Furthermore, an actuator is present, through which a torque in the opening direction can be acted on the flap. The actuator is a force accumulator 4, the force from its clamping position, the flap during its opening stroke from the closed position to achieve a relaxed position of the force accumulator 4.
